Transport Planning

Over 14,000 dwellings master planned

As transport planners we provide a variety of services in this area.

Master Planning

Master planning is shown to add significant value to a project, and transport planning is a key input into a Master Plan.

We assist our clients to plan new development areas with master planning, structure planning, transport planning, and the design of street networks. This work is often a precursor to a Plan Change or Plan Variation to rezone an area of land.

After understanding what the goals of the project are we collect data about the transport environment and identify the opportunities and constraints for development, particularly around access between the site and the wider road network. We then work collaboratively with urban designers, planners, and engineers to iteratively develop a cohesive plan for the site.

We have considerable expertise in the design of street network layouts and cross-sections, particularly in large residential subdivisions, and to date we have helped plan over 14,000 residential dwellings plus considerable areas of commercial and industrial activities.

Recent Projects

McConnell Property developed the Addison development in Takanini, Auckland between 2005 and 2016 based on an evolving master plan with around 1500 homes. The master plan called for innovative approaches to medium density residential development including streets that were narrower than those provided for in engineering standards of the time.
